Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan are set to create magic with their action stunts in Citadel: Honey Bunny. Meanwhile, Varun will be seen in another action flick, Baby John, co-produced and conceptualized by Atlee of Jawan-fame. In a new interview, Dhawan said that both Citadel: Honey Bunny and Baby John are Samantha's convictions for him and he also thanked her for his long-awaited action era which has finally kicked off this year.
In a new interview with Hindustan Times, Varun and Samantha opened up about Citadel: Honey Bunny. Varun said, "What I do feel is that both Citadel: Honey Bunny and Baby John are Samantha's conviction for me. We'd spoken about something and it's happened. I have to thank Samantha for that, 100%. She gave me a lot of confidence that I'm on the right track. It matters a lot."
On the other hand, Samantha agreed and said that it was her manifestation for Varun. She feels like this will be Varun's year.
In Citadel: Honey Bunny, he will be seen exploring a new-age action subgenre – the stuntman saving the day, in the style of Brad Pitt in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time in Hollywood (2019) or the more recent David Leitch's The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling.
Reacting to it, Varun said, "They're tough, they're tough as hell man. They have to have main character energy. They're doing stunts which are very daredevil. They're really doing it on the spot, there's no CG involved. I'm sure they get the stunt wrong sometimes, but they just get up and go back at it. I think ‘fearless’ is what comes to my mind."
Citadel: Honey Bunny will start streaming on November 7, 2024, on Amazon Prime Video. The Indian spy action spin-off of the American Television series Citadel is written and directed by Raj Nidimoru, Krishna DK, and Sita R Menon.
The series is set in 1990 and follows the story of a stuntman named Bunny who recruits a struggling actress named Honey for a secret mission. As the plot unfolds, Bunny discovers that Honey is the mother of his child. They are forced to reunite and must fight together to protect their daughter, which leads to intense and dangerous situations.
The cast of the series includes Varun Dhawan, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Kay Kay Menon, Emma Canning, Simran Rishi Bagga, Sikandar Kher, Saqib Saleem, Soham Majumdar, and Kashvi Majmundar as Young Nadia Singh, among others.
Keerthy Suresh is making her debut in the Hindi cinema industry with Baby John. It also stars Wamiqa Gabbi. Baby John, directed by A. Kaleeswaran, is scheduled to be released in theatres this Christmas 2024.
